On Sunday, November 24, The New York Times
informed its readers that North Korea and Pakistan have been cooperating to insure
both nations remain potent members of the nuclear weapons community. North Korea
is ruled by a madman named Kim Jong Il and Pakistan who, until the US needed it
to invade Afghanistan, was a key player in the worldwide Islamic jihad. Barely
weeks ago, it came within inches of a nuclear war with India.

If this is
the first you have heard of this, let me remind you of what former President Clinton
told the nation on February 18, 1996. "Our diplomacy backed with force persuaded
North Korea to freeze its nuclear program."

The threats and deceptions
the United States and the rest of the world are facing as 2003 approaches were
identified during the traitorous years of the Clinton administration. And denied.

As anyone who has read Bill Gertz's book, Betrayal: How the Clinton
Administration Undermined American Security knew back in 1999 when it was
first published, US intelligence agencies had come to the startling conclusion
in 1997 that North Korea had been building a huge underground complex whose sole
purpose was to make plutonium, a key component of a nuclear missile warhead.

The
so-called "freeze" the Clinton administration had negotiated in 1994
had turned out to be yet another very bad deal made by people convinced they could
sweet talk and/or bribe any nation to tread the path to peace. The US squandered
$4.6 billion on that pipe dream, dragging in South Korea and Japan, in the belief
one can make a deal with a Communist nation.

With sublime irony, the then-director
of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Hans Blix, estimated at that time that
North Korea had enough plutonium for at least one nuclear warhead and probably
had more. Blix is now leading the UN inspectors only small children believe will
find evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The record of international
agencies is always too little, too late.

On June 12,1994, North Korea withdrew
from the Agency so it would not be bothered by any international oversight of
its plans to become a major exporter of WMDs. Clinton's response was to appease
the North Koreans with more useless negotiations that resulted in an "Agreed
Framework" that would get them to return to the Agency.

The agreement
gave them ten years to dismantle their weapons program. This year the North
Koreans announced to the whole world they were a nuclear power and, what's more,
possessed missile technology sufficient to lob one into Los Angeles. You can send
your thank you notes to Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright
who, in 1998, lied to the Senate Finance Committee, telling them the nuclear accord
had "frozen North Korea's dangerous nuclear weapons program."

US
spy agencies, despite having had their budgets slashed throughout the Clinton
years, had spotted the underground facility at Kumchangni in early 1997. By then,
North Korea was earning $1 billion a year from missile sales to nations that included
Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Libya.

Aiding its Communist cousin, Red China has
had a long record of providing assistance to North Korea's WMD programs and, in
particular, facilitating the development of its missile program. Who helped Red
China in this endeavor? The Clinton administration which continually loosened
export controls on critical technologies that included sophisticated high-performance
computers.

The Clintonistas ignored Red China's two decades of successfully
stealing America's nuclear secrets. Why? Because it favored "engagement"
with Red China that also permitted some of its top corporate contributors to keep
their money flowing to insure Clinton's reelection.

As Gertz noted in his
book, "Not only did the White House go to great lengths to ignore and cover
up Chinese violations of international agreements that should have triggered economic
sanctions, it also offered more concessions and a way to avoid US missile sanctions."

Clinton and his operatives should be behind bars for knowingly working
against the security of this nation and the world. Gertz called Bill Clinton "the
best friend the communist regime (China) has ever had in its long march forward
to surpass the United States as the chief power in the Pacific."

When
the US gets through with its "regime change" in Iraq, it will have to
direct its attention to North Korea, the third element of President Bush's "axis
of evil" that includes Iran. Red China is not likely to take kindly to this,
but until the US can develop and install a missile defense program that former
President Reagan wanted, it will buy us the time to survive an attack. And some
people are still worried about the need for "preemptive" action to defend
this nation and others. Some people still do not want a missile defense system.

Short memories combined with the slavish pandering of the US mainstream
press during the Clinton years have left the United States in a state of clear
and present danger.
